I noticed Saturday that all of the Star Wars series was available for rent, except for one - New Hope... not sure why that is, but since when has Disney ever made sense?
It was a rainy ass day so we decided to watch Empire Strikes back. The last time I had watched it was on VHS probably 15 years ago at least.
Because it has so much importance as a childhood movie experience, I will always love the film. But that doesn't stop the adult I am from seeing, quite plainly, the film has many, many problems and shortcomings. Truly awful acting in parts, poor scripting and giant leaps in the plot.
I will always remember in 1980, at 15, sitting in the theater with 3 of my friends and the movie starts up... the anticipation and excitement that I will never feel again for a movie. I will always have that. So, I may never watch it again. Don't want to tarnish those memories.
